To fully understand Trump’s popularity, you have to look at the current state of British politics. Over two years since the country voted to leave the European Union, we have seen virtually zero progress at delivering on the result of the referendum. Rather than battling with Brussels to return our sovereignty, end uncontrolled immigration, and give a better deal to British business, Theresa May’s government has been paralyzed by infighting, trying desperately to scrap together compromises which keep the establishment forces on side. Earlier this year, a British political journalist revealed that Trump often begins his calls with the Prime Minister by asking “are you out yet?” – and you can see why.
It’s no surprise that Brits are increasingly frustrated with the government’s mishandling of Brexit. What’s more interesting is that when you ask them what kind of leader they want to get us out of this mess, an increasing number are saying the same thing: someone like Trump. Brexit supporters observe how he deals with similar rubbish deals (the Iranian nuclear fiasco, for one) and they realize how much more can be achieved when leaders actually show some muscle.
Then there’s the fact that Trump remains the only international leader to publicly suggest offering Britain a new trade deal – something which is wildly popular with mainstream voters. While Brexit’s critics may paint the vote as insular and backwards, they forget that our biggest motivation for leaving Europe was to strike better trade deals elsewhere. As a businessman, Trump respects this. He has made loud and clear overtures in support of a big deal (unlike President Obama, who famously warned the Brits they would be “at the back of the queue” if they left the EU).
Of course, as with at home in America, Trump is consistently opposed by the liberal media here, who publish hyperbolic attacks on every decision taken by the administration (The Guardian newspaper – once a serious left-wing broadsheet – has even thrown its support behind a puerile campaign to fly a large balloon over London mocking the President as an overgrown baby). But like in America, the old elitist media does not represent public opinion and is increasingly losing ground to newer, more authentic voices.
Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, for example, now hosts one of London’s most popular radio shows. Tommy Robinson, a critic of radical Islam, amassed hundreds of thousands of followers with his campaigning videos, before being imprisoned for disrupting the trial of child sex offenders. James Delingpole, a former columnist for one of the UK’s most prestigious and patrician newspapers, now hosts his own acclaimed podcast, in which he interviews radical conservative figures from across the world.
As for the protests themselves, they are best ignored. Just two weeks ago, a similar march took place in London calling for the Brexit vote to be overturned. As with the anti-Trump marchers, the marchers were largely unrepresentative ideologues, many of whom represent special interest groups (the Trade Union movement, in particular). These virtue-signaling publicity stunts – a semi-regular occurrence in the capital – are frequently met with spontaneous heckles from ordinary Brits, keen to express their opposition.
In reality, more Britons are starting to wonder where we might find our own Trump figure. In the wake of Theresa May’s disastrous election (in which she almost handed the keys to 10 Downing Street to an unreconstructed socialist whose party has been accused of widespread antisemitism), Conservative Party activists began to rally behind Jacob Rees-Mogg as the man to shake British politics from its bureaucratic malaise.
On first inspection, Messrs. Trump and Rees-Mogg couldn’t be more different: one is a brash New Yorker with a penchant for skyscrapers and celebrity parties; Mr Rees-Mogg is a classically English gentleman known for his impeccable manners and unashamedly old-fashioned tailoring. But such superficial analysis misses the real similarities: both men are strong-willed disruptors, happy to lay waste to special interests rather than compromise on their conservative principles. Both, just as importantly, are hugely popular both with their activist base and with blue-collar working families.
To those of you back in America, ignore what you might hear elsewhere: Britain is growing ever keener on your president. And with President Trump and the First Lady set to dominate our television screens over the next three days, my own prediction is that this admiration will only grow stronger.
"Trump's unmistakable approach to politics is increasingly viewed with envy by British voters tired of backsliding career politicians."
I love the way you mirror Trump in that you think your opinion is the only one that matters in your country.
Your'e directing that at Henry Jacobson, right?
Yes
The British people love President Rump?
Yeah, right.
I think the premise of the article is that if you ignore enough people, at least a few like him.
I would say that some like him, MOST DON'T.
Fox news ran a story yesterday saying that, "trump supporters turned out in droves in England"... The picture showed about 50 people... "WINNING!!!" LOL
Is that your takeaway?
I thought Mr Jacobson was making the case that Trump was going to win the Brits over. Very possible considering what the EU & the left's diversity politics are doing to that once great nation.
What? They couldn't find another picture in their files with more people??
Yup, right after he gets Ireland to join the UK...
Yea, but they were all wearing white sheets.
Again!?!?!?!!!
I spent 5 weeks driving around the UK and I don't think that I met anybody who liked Trump.
Perhaps if you had gone looking out in the moors or turned over a few slimy rocks you'd find one or two...
Apparently you didn't follow the authors advice to "ignore what you might hear elsewhere"...
"an increasing number are saying the same thing: someone like Trump"
Yes, you can call a number "increasing" even if it's just going from 10 to 11.
Yeah I'll have to try that and ask everyone I meet when on vacation what their political viewpoints are. /s
Personal experiences don't show the big picture
I begin to thing that the only people who love Trump are Russian...
And those that prefer lower taxes and conservative Supreme Court justices.
And Constitutional rights as they were written .....
Let' see, I guess you are one making millions a year, the rest of us are taking up the slack for you then.
Very funny post
.
What a load of swill.
.
BRits obviously WAY aheadvof US
wear
ignorance certainly seems to be the exception
accepted by far too many
as a rule r, who couldn't measure a yard
stick with a meter, you'll have knot it maid,
here in our country of bliss
Trump's popularity abroad is beat out by anal warts and dental abscesses. Not, surprisingly...
Do we elect Presidents based on world polls now?
We didn't even elect Trump based on US polls. He lost the popular vote by over 3 million votes, too...
And that just chaps his fat ass to no end. Talk about butt hurt . . .
Is he still bragging about that electoral vote anywhere and everywhere? And the size of his inauguration?
But he did come in first in 30 of 50 state polls and in our system thats what counts.
That's what CNN thought on election night......LOL
Thank god the we got rid of that piece of shit Obama. He was good at winning popularity contests and that was about all he was good at.
At least President Trump was smarter than that nasty old hag Hilarious Hillary, the only problem with her losing is having to listen to the snowflakes bitch and moan for the next 8 years.
Has it ever occurred to any of you touting that 3 million vote "win" that maybe, just maybe, Trump didn't run to win the "popular" vote? That maybe, just maybe, he ran to get at least 270 electoral votes, since that is what is required?
Psssst….don't ever let the Democrats attempt that "newfound campaign strategy" of winning electoral votes.
Trust me, the Republicans were just really, really lucky and OF COURSE you'll win every election from now on, guaranteed!
The rules are to win the most electoral votes, which Presdient Trump did. So, what does the other side do? Oh, the electoral college isn't fair (only complained about it after the election results were in). He won those voes, because he actually campaigned there, as opposed to his counterpart on the Dem side. There are several other reasons also, mostly attributable to her and the DNC Machine.
yeah, but the popular vote is really, really, REALLY important to Democrats.
Electoral votes--not so much. They just bitch about the EC when things don't go their way.
Sour grapes from the kiddoes still lamenting November 2016.
How about please stating the source of your info.
How about please stating the source of your info.
Source was, "YouGove UK", link to the information was provided in the original post.
the British public hold the President in low regard
Guess what? I don't care what the British people think and they don't matter either.
Actually that's how most people on NT feel (which is why this post has 48 comments and growing... LOL! :^)
So you are pretending to speak for the majority on NT now? Please be so kind ads to inform all of us how you claim said info....
It's really quite simple actually. If you look at the top of the page you will see this:
You can do that with any seed or article-- its a quick easy way to asee how many comments it has. (That number appeared just now-- when I made my original comment the number waas much smaller)>
What's the deal with the math? 2/3 of britons = 44% in this mathemetician's grasp of percentages and fractions? The whole poll has 73% of answers? Where's the other 27%? Still relying on these polls? There a plan sure to work as well as those polls on election night here in the U.S.
Common Core.
How would they know?
They don't live here. Oh, I know, they watch the liberal media - the same one that said the Brexit vote would go the other way!
Britain is growing ever keener on your president.
I don't think the people with the Baby Donald blimp or the tens of thousands who showed up to protest in cities everywhere got the "keen" memo.
Why is he gripping PM May's hand like that?
It is a power thing and you can bet May's ring finger is being painfully wrenched to near breaking...
LMFAO!!
SMMFH!
THAT'S what you are bitching about? How he held her freaking HAND?
No, I am disgusted with all things trump especially his meeting with his comrade Vlad Putin...
It is like if Roosevelt met with Tito after Pearl Harbor or Bush sat down with Osama Bin Laden.
Man, y'all crack me up.
First you claim that talking to anyone is good---applauded loudly when Obama said he was willing to meet and talk with anyone, and now that Trump actually DOES it, you complain.
SMMFH
Then why did you only bitch about how he held her hand? I didn't see anything other than that in your post, but feel free to correct me if I am wrong on that.
Just cut and paste it.
You are wrong. I have consistently complained about all things Trumpian butt only with good cause...
Okay, just simply post the sentence in the post I responded to that had anything to do with anything other than you complaining about how Trump held her hand.
We aren't talking a one off. Check my comment history. I loath all things Trump. Always have. Always will.
The man couldn't be any more vulgar or rude. No comment by me, to you or others, ever said otherwise...
You bitched about Obama wearing a tan suit...save your fake outrage.
I was also thinking Chamberlain and Hitler. (To have a better relationship with Hitler, this appeaser decided to accept Hitler's illegal invasion and occupation of part of Czechslovakia). Chamberlain and others that the way to peace was talkig with Hitler-- and accepting his conquest of the Crimea.
Whoops-- my bad! I mean Hitler's conquest and annexation of part of Czechoslovakia, not Crimea! (One justification-- many people in that part of the country spoke German-- so after all Hitler felt he had a right to annex it).
It is like if Roosevelt met with Tito after Pearl Harbor or Bush sat down with Osama Bin Laden
Actually it's like when Roosevelt made the Soviet Union an ally and later gave Stalin eastern Europe
What about Hitler allied with Stalin?
Then
Roosevelt allied with Stalin?
Gee, now why do you have to lie about what I post?
I challenge you to produce ANY evidence of me bitching about what the fuck Obama wore, or anyone else for that matter. That kind of shit may be important to you, but it doesn't matter to me because I am not a shallow know-nothing.
Come on, POST WHAT YOU CLAIM or don't ever talk shit to me again.
Sure, as soon as you can provide proof that I watch fox news all the time? Thanks for playing!
Either you watch Fox, and your complaints about it are legitimate based on your personal experience watching it, or your complaints are completely unfounded and you don't know what you are talking about.
Now, have you had any luck to support YOUR lie about what I posted?
Or is deflection just your thing when caught?
I must have missed that comment. Can you give me a link to it? Truman, LBJ, and Reagan also wore brown or tan suits.
By the way, what does Obama's tan suit have to do with Trump assisting Teresa May down some steps?
Good one!
He's looking for the right moment to grab her by the...
Yeah looks like he's got it in a death grip. I guess to show her who he considers is boss.
See how he didn't even understand protocol or completely ignored it and walked ahead of the Queen?
What a stupid ignorant arrogant asshole.
Yeah...I made a pretty big deal of it on Face Book with his lack of manners towards the Queen. She's nearly 100 years old and he makes her walk around him.
Trump wasn't given the title, "The Original Short Fingered Vulgarian", for nothing. He earned it...
Now Trump is the King of Vulgaria, Monarch of all Vulgarians plus being, President of the US of A.
What a fucking shame. Fortunately there are constitutional remedies to what ails us. Amend #25.
It must have taken her awhile considering his girth!!!!!!!!
that was just his fat head
That is for sure. It is a long long long, long longer longest, way around Trump's big olde butt...
Don't forget we have a bet
perhaps
U should not forget...
Looks like the third-graders were let out of summer school early!
Neither looks upset about it, so really a non-issue.
Lol, It's his words, his weight, how he combs his hair. How about what he does? HE"S ACES ON THAT!!!
Trump isn't "gripping" May's hand. It's simple courtesy for gentlemen offer a hand or arm to a woman especially when walking down steps. I still do this with my wife and daughters.
Please watch this video, because you'll hear Teresa May thanking Trump:
Hopefully they understand
Understand?
UNDERSTAND?????
LMFAO!
Hell, the only thing they understand is their irrational hatred of Trump.
You mean like John Brennan calling him a traitor?
Would that be the same John Brennan who was Obama's CIA Director and who (at least once that we know of) voted for a Communist Party presidential candidate? That John Brennan?
Yup, the same one. Part of the reason he was chosen.
I would rather risk a fall down those steps than to have any part of him touch any part of me.
The story I read that he was holding her hand to steady her so she would not fall. For that kind of a gesture, the man holds his hand out, palm down. The lady then places her hand on top of his. It helps with the core balance by using that method. You don't grab and squeeze her hand in the way that he did.
My husband holds me by the elbow to make sure I don't fall.
He sounds like a good and caring man.
More right wing click bait here again.
Trump has his 'niche' to be sure. Kleptocracy is on the rise, Trump is riding the wave and Putin smiles.
Boris Johnson and Bannon, when he is in England, are Trumpers for sure. The Russians and their Brexit have scored a point or two-------at least for the moment.
On the whole, Trump is popularly unpopular.
And yet, he is STILL YOUR PRESIDENT, assuming, of course, that you are an American citizen.
As was Richard Nixon!
Yes. Very good!
And yet, here you are.
Check with me in November
Good morning Mr. Eldred. Insert a couple dozen pleasantries of your choice to get rid of the taste from above.
This article is pretty cool. Serves as a reminder that we aren't an isolated only target of the socialist movement. Heck, they have been attacking Europe longer than they have us.
Complete with vulgar slurs, empty claims, lop-sided spins and a desire to out gross each other. There are many similarities between those who support May and those who support Obama. The first word that comes to mind is uncivilized.
All of that is just fine. Their tactics in the past have proven to be quite effective, in third world countries. Just so happens that there aren't many third world countries around anymore.
Kick back and relax. The barbs and arrows will be flying from the left. Trump and Putin press conference.
Ever wonder why the left is going after Putin so much? It's because Communism failed in Russia. All of those five year plans, up in smoke. Pure and simple, Putin isn't far enough to the left for them.
Russia, long the biggest symbol of Communist aggression has now become a black eye for Communism.
Of course I am speaking in economic terms which is not what today's lefties are about. Totalitarian government is the real target. Russia still has one but it no longer uses the false promises of economic equality and well being of Socialist policies.
Putin's government is still strong and domineering but just as with our "Establishment" that strength is is decline. Who knows what will happen when Putin passes on. I wonder if their is a Russian over there named Trumpkov.
Have fun lefty extremists, the two most powerful leaders in the world just gave you a lot to bellyache about. Everybody get together and harmonize your message of hate, hate, hate.
Maybe I'm not a lefty because I hate communism
Hating Communism does not detract from your support of various left wing ideals, it just means that you are not a fanatical extremist.
Plus a few other, minor reasons:
1. He ordered meddling in our election. (Is that really OK with you? While you might not mind because the last few times he attacked the Dems, what's to guarantee that if it continues he might some day attack Republicans.. I wonder if you'd change your tune then...???)
2. He illegally attacked a soverign country and actually annexed part of it! (Crimea).
3. He illegally attacked another soverign country and actually annexed part of it! (Georgia).
4. He regularly has his political opponents murdered. (Even including those who try to escape by fleeing Russia-- remember the poisonings in the UK?)
5. Extreme violence against gays.
6. Extreme violence against any Russians he disagrees with.
7. Supporting a barbaric dictator in Syria.
8. One of the main supporters and enablers of Iran horrific theocracy.
9. Arming the Syrian military with weapons so they can attack one of our most reliable allies (Israel).
10. Support of N. Korea's dictatorship.
Those are just a few that quickly came to mind-- there are others....
At least you are honest enough to admit that the failure of Communism is one of the main reason. We may disagree on whether it is a major or minor reason but at least we agree that it is a reason.
Communism failed in Russia because "people". People are too greedy or whatever to ever actually make communism work the way it's designed to. The USSR became an empire of oligarchs.
No argument. Explain that to the Democratic leadership that wants to lead us into the same economic system.
Which Democratic leadership? The ones I see in the leadership roles are all corporate toadies. They don't want communism any more than we do. But I think they would be perfectly fine with a corporate plutocracy
Have you ever wondered...how come Trump supporters (as well as Trump himself, of course!!! :^) are always so civilized...but everyone of the left is not?
Why do you think that is...could it possibly be...genetic?
Good afternoon sir.
Well the President made his biggest mistakes to date today, hopefully he corrects them soon. The wounds are severe but certainly not fatal. I think Trump would say "I might be down at times but I'm never out".
I think Mr Jacobson has a few points. It's the elections that show where the public stands not polls.
Should I ask the question of the day?
If Socialism or Communism are so good, why are so many from the third world coming over our southern border?
Fear not. Tomorrow we are on the next page. We have a Supreme Court Justice to confirm, borders to be strengthened and a tenacious swamp to drain.
At first look it is easy to think Trump may have made his biggest mistake, at least on the local political scene. One think I have learned about Trump is that you shouldn't apply to much credence to what you see. To keep people from interfering and disrupting things before they have a chance to work he keeps his cards close to the vest.
He makes it foolish for anyone on either side to give much credence to the first thing printed by any media right or left. If something favorable comes out of his meeting today at a later date especially on the economic/trade side would people still be pissed that he didn't call Putin a liar to his face? Falling into an onion patch and then coming up smelling like a rose is becoming a habit for Trump.
As a political strategist I have serious misgivings about many of his actions. As a common everyday citizen who doesn't like normal political action I am not overly concerned.
An answer to your question of the day. I'll let somebody else answer first. I've already stirred up enough trash with honesty for the day.
Getting back to POTUS appointments and immigration will be welcome.
Honesty will do that.
So many people have joined NT over the years. And why not? Great layout, numerous features, probably one of the best moderated sites on the Internet.
Yet so many leave. Why?
Because of garbage such as this... .:-(
Deleted
IOW, "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain", pulling leavers and spouting utter nonsense...
Because of garbage such as this;
The shame belongs to those who consistently seek to cast slurs towards and cast aspersions upon others. An excellent reason for many people to leave many sights and ignore their protests.
What's all that flowery goobledygook and nonsense you're spouting there. I need a translator I think.
Just being non-pc, just like trumptard wants, so what's the problem?
Well, at least we can be grateful for one thing-- Donald Trump (Peace Be Upon Him!) would never cast slurs or aspersions on others. Not news reporters. Not Obama. Not Hillary. Not any of our allies in NATO.
Nope-- Trump would never do that-- he leads by example!
(If everyone exhibited Trump's fine level of civility, the world would be a better place!)
Do you?
Flowery gobbledygook. Is that also what it is everytime the left cries for diplomacy over confrontation? 'Don't bully N. Korea it will lead to war.' " Bully Putin, we don't care what it leads to.' What a burden it is for the lefty fanatics that things are happening so close together it's impossible to hide their hypocrisy. Why shouldn't people ignore the protestors when they change their tune on every issue?
By PC standards, Trump does jump into the cesspool. I do it all the time, in fact that's where I am right now. With today's media it's the only way to get heard. Nice guys are considered weak and get played for patsies. Speak to the scum as spoken to and the media will give you plenty of attention so that the scum can complain about being spoken to in their native language.
I would rather be led by a person that can take the heat for jumping into the fray and mix it up with the enemy on it's own stage than a quisling who runs and hides for the sake of being considered PC by those who keep changing what PC is.
Guess you probably need an interpreter for these comments also.
The only thing Trump was jumping into was bed with Putin. There was no fighting, Donald didn't even put up a pretense of a fight, he just rolled over and let Putin have his way with him.
Well, there certainly is that butt let's not forget the porn star, the playmate and the two Russian pissers.
For starters...
So is Trump a conservative or a liberal? Deviation from sexual norms is one of the hot buttons for liberal progressives. SARC!! But not a lie, just a reflection of the type of deflection you all like to use do to a lack of intelligent and informed rebuttals against Trump's actions.
Pile it on, more and more the midterms are coming and the fanatics are struggling for attention as more and more voters are no longer even bothering to get on the internet. Except for Amazon's Prime Day to see how slick this year's rip offs are going to be.
You might need to dumb that comment down for everyone to understand it. Some seem to have trouble with it.
We all have our weaknesses, one of mine is a lack of mastery of babyspeak. Though they seem to understand me perfectly well when I give their troll mates on the other side a hard time.
Good one McFrost. According to the protester pictured it's okay to call a woman a cunt because she has depth and warmth. Liberal sexism?
Do you always refer to women as, "him"?
Not when I can tell for sure. I didn't . Based on the sign being carried the protester in your meme does. I didn't mention the protestor's sex because between the beard and the obvious chest protrusions can't really be sure, may be trans don't care. Has nothing to do with describing a woman with vulgarity. The word cunt was obviously intended as a slur.
Creating false statements, in other words flat out lying about what a person said in a comment should be allowed to be called out is so common amongst trolls that the mods should not be blamed if they ignore it. Ignoring the protestors is contagious.
Ok, so the HIM he is referring to on the sign is trump, not himself. You really didn't know that? I mean, you made one comment that made no sense, and instead of just letting it go, you are going to double down and dig yourself in even deeper?
You are such a joy. Which part of my original content makes no sense? Actual quote please, it is still on this same page.
Memes and emojis quite the arsenal. What's going to be the next fad for those with communication deficiencies?
Type slower--you go to fast for some to keep up!
"too".... SMH
ooooh, you got me in a typo!
Let the sky fall!
oooh!!
ok... well here's a seemingly false statement:
it's from comment #9 and refers to a picture posted of a protester... except i can't find anywhere on that poster's sign anything about it being ok to call a woman a "cunt" -- can you ? maybe this is an example of one of those.... "false" statements ?
No, it's a logical step-if he can't be called that, for lack of wamth and depth, should you call a woman that (the one's I have known) have warmth and depth that word? Please tell me you understand this and are just being obtuse.
it seems that you are reading words that aren't present on the sign. Nothing on the sign even indicates the poster in the picture, nor the poster who posted the picture have any opinion (one way or the other) about a woman being called the word "cunt" - so i'm not sure where you are getting this idea from that it's ok to call a woman a "cunt" (or not ok) since the sign doesn't state anything about a woman or women or females or anything of that nature, in fact the poster could very well be against calling any woman a "cunt" and reserves that type of comment for the President only or others that are not liked very much (think of that ? it's rather common on both sides of the aisle so pigeon-holing this into a "liberal" thing is ridiculous on it's face, especially considering the past presidencies). The sign simply states about "him" (which i am assuming is referencing the President) and that's it. Please tell me you understand this and are just being obtuse.
Whatever it takes for them to try and pretend that a really stupid mistake was made by using that meme.
One of the best things we can do is to encourage them to keep on keeping on. They love Hilary so much that they keep on campaigning as she did. The results were great.
so you don't think it was a "false" statement - yet you are still reading words that don't exist on the sign like:
maybe you know the protester who is pictured personally and know that he feels its ok to call a woman a "cunt" ? (btw, i love the President as much as i love Hillary)
Is that in Britain? If so, the Brits are much freer to use that term and by all genders and for all genders. It's become a very generic descriptor there.
Yeah like "fag." That gets used all the time there .....
Ignore The Protesters. The British People Love President Trump
Funny, I recently returned from London. Based on my conversations the only thing I can say is : No they don't, they pretty much think He is a horses arse.
Ya, We know, they turned out Churchill as soon as WWII ended. Civilized yet very fickle!
Hi Vic. Sorry About the lack of intelligent conversation on your seed. My fault despite staying on topic. Mostly anyway. It was to muggy and boring today to just ignore the protestors like I probably should have.
Lol, We had fun with them which is the second best thing
There's the denial that we've all come to know and love. All nations and everyone love trump no matter what they actually say.
ROFL
I care about what the Brits think of our POTUS about as much as they care about what i think of their PM ...... which is to say .... not at all. Which is pretty much how it should be IMO.
Ready to take a trip I guess.
